How to Naturally Support a Cavity-Prone Tooth: Koila (Activated Charcoal) With Lemon

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon activated charcoal powder (koila – food or oral grade)
  • 3–4 drops fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for oil pulling)
  • A soft toothbrush

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixture: In a small bowl, mix the activated charcoal powder with lemon juice to make a paste. (Add a few drops of water if it’s too thick.)
  2. Apply gently: Dip your toothbrush in the paste and gently brush your teeth, especially around the affected area, for 1–2 minutes.
  3. Rinse well: Spit out and rinse your mouth thoroughly with warm water.
  4. Optional oil pulling: After rinsing, swish a teaspoon of coconut oil in your mouth for 5–10 minutes to help reduce bacteria.
  5. Repeat sparingly: Use this remedy no more than 2–3 times per week to avoid enamel erosion from lemon’s acidity.
  6. Daily care: Brush twice a day with a fluoride-free or regular toothpaste, floss daily, and reduce sugar intake to support oral health.
